Outraged French ban Muslim 'burkinis' on multiple beaches - SteveG - 08-17-2016 ![]() Oops, sorry, wrong picture. That's an American beach in 1900. ![]() Ah, here we are...Offensive French Burkini Re: Outraged French ban Muslim 'burkinis' on multiple beaches - Ted King - 08-17-2016 http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/01/world/europe/france-burqa-ban/ The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday [July 1, 2014] rejected a claim by a young Muslim woman that France's ban on the wearing of burqas and niqabs in public violates her rights. I'm a secularist, but the French have taken secularism too far.

So they banned long pants and sleeves, I feel so much safer.

Viva Laïcité I'm all for the separation of church and state and that religion doesn't intrude too much into public life, but I also think there needs to be respect and tolerance in the public sphere for people to express their religious beliefs in a way that does not overtly impinge on someone else's liberties. I just don't see how restricting people's choice to wear particular religiously inspired garments in most settings is justified (with exceptions maybe for things like the safe operation of machinery).
